HemLiveare a wonderfully clever couple of mums who make delightful cushions, lampshades, and other household items. The company consists of Wendy Tompkins and Marilyn Cudmore. I discovered them this weekend in their sweet little shop/summerhouse/chalet at Packhouse Antiques Centre near Farnham in Surrey. They sell here one weekend a month and at other times can be found at various craft fairs around the country and also via their website.

Some of their goodies

I was looking for a special birthday present for a friend, (Happy Birthday Sue), and found the perfect gifts made by them. My friend is a GREAT animal lover and so this cushion and make-up bag was just the right thing for her. Beautifully made from a super linen designer fabric they are just so gorgeous. Do you like them?

Cushion 50cm x 50cm
They also sell ones online at 30cm x 30cm

Matching make-up bag
Beautifully made and with a very pretty lining too

I do hope that she will like these gifts ... also Happy Birthday from a great friend of hers too ...

I do so love it when I discover local crafters - the country is awash with very clever people.
